802.1X Open Source Supplicant

The first project sponsored under the OpenSEA umbrella is an open-source cross-platform 802.1X supplicant: the Open1X project. The Open1X XSupplicant has been available primarily on Linux for the last 6 years and was a project originally started at the University of Maryland.

The development lead of this project is Chris Hessing of Identity Engines. The initial goals of the project include extending the operating system support of Xsupplicant to the Windows platform, as well as adding an easy-to-use cross-platform user-interface.
